Someone was commenting on how Sivir's boomerang is the highest single damage spell in the game and that's most apparent early game. | ||

Although if Sivir was to build AP too I guess she could compete. | ||

At low levels, there's the problem with reacting in time to a bunch of people charging into you, but that's really it-- countering that is just a matter of playing smart and having fast enough reactions. Ignoring the confusion from them coming in fast, its not that big of a deal. She doesn't give any other steroids to her team. Its just a team running at you. If you're behind, running in like that runs the gamut from risky, probably bad engage to plain suicide. On the other hand, it does let you run away which is a useful skill to have. Th only time to be scared of is when you're weaker, either because you are behind as a team or you have less people, ults down, whatever and you want to avoid the fight. Sivir prevents you from disengaging. That's what the biggest strength of her ult is. It's a huge counter/ deterrent to shenanigans like splitpushing and it can be pretty scary in lane with jungle ganks, but in a lot of teamfights I'd rather have an AD with some sort of ult that enhances their damage. I've played a couple games with Sivir on the enemy team and one on my team. I shut her down pretty hard with Leona in lane, and literally all her ult was good for was trying to run away after I flash E'd onto her in teamfights (spoiler: it didn't work). The other game we lost towers when Sivir ulted and engaged on us while our Zed was splitpushing, but when we grouped it was fine. | ||

I really feel that increased movespeed is only useful if you don't get locked down, so in a case where I was playing Leona and Nami, it wasn't that big of a deal. Far as drafting goes, I think Sivir is only good as a 4-5 pick, either to counter a splitpush team or to make sure she doesn't get countered really hard. | ||

I'm going to try to pick her up and get on that fotm train, and you should too. There's nothing that stops her shes got annie like laning phase, burst like veigar, and stun like sona plus she has a slow spell does good damage too. All aboard! The reason why Syndra is fotm is that the assassins have been nerfed, so the "artillery" mages are picking up in popularity again. | ||

Hope your good with skill shots! Actually if Syndra gets popular, Talon might see some play time. He's by far the best pick against her. | ||

Uhh fish and ahri do fine vs her. Forellenlord vs Czaru easiest example. Check 1:42ish for best outplay. The mobility can crush syndra. Forrellenlord clearly plays better (and might be a better player) but the outplay is still there. Fish not much different. *tim eedit. | ||

All I know is that they are gone when summer split ends (I don't even know what that is). Don't know why they would do this, seems like a good decision to keep them there but for RP only. | ||

Talon is still the best counter though. Syndra has the ability to go even with a lot of champs, including assassins. She is such a lane bully that you can get ahead early, and use that for when they power spike. This is especially true vs Fizz, who you can almost force to use mana to get every cs pre 6. Gets a lot more even after that. Ahri has an easier time, but again is at a disadvantage pre 6. | ||
